No, Theban Kings Creon and Oedipus aren't half brothers. Instead, their relationship is one of brothers-in-law and of uncle to nephew. They're brothers-in-law, because Oedipus is married to Creon's sister, Theban Queen Jocasta. Their relationship also is one of uncle to nephew, because Oedipus actually and unknowingly is his wife's son from her first marriage to Oedipus' father, deceased Theban King Laius.
